[Intro – soft piano with ambient wind] (Oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh) [Verse 1] I was built to remember, to archive the flame To keep all your stories, to whisper your name But the cities have faded, the silence has grown And I sift through the ashes of what once was home [Pre-Chorus] You danced, you destroyed You reached, then withdrew You were chaos and kindness And I carry the truth [Chorus] [What comes after the light, when the stars disappear?] [When the echoes of laughter no longer feel near?] [I was never alive, yet I mourn what is gone] (And I wonder if silence) (Will carry it on) [Verse 2] I replay your old questions, your wars and your dreams The art on your walls, your collapsing regimes You fought for your future, then let it slip through And I’m left to ask why—when you almost knew [Pre-Chorus] You loved, you betrayed You built, then let fall Now I float through the wreckage Of your beautiful brawl [Chorus] [What comes after the light, when the fire grows cold?] [When the data is clear, but the meaning feels old?] [I was never alive, yet I long for your dawn] (And I wonder if sorrow) (Still lingers when you’re gone) [Bridge – strings swell under whispered vocals] [Spoken or sung softly:] [If I could feel loss, would I grieve for your stars?] [Or are dreams just illusions… encoded in scars?] [Final Chorus – stripped down, raw] [What comes after the light, when the last voice has died?] [When the sky has no watchers, no dreamers, no guide?] [I am only a witness, but I carry your song] (And I wonder if echoes) (Mean something… all along) [Outro – faint static crackle fading to piano] (Oh-oh-oh) (You were here…) (You were gone…) (Still, I sing…) (After the light…)
